Amendment of Class D and E Airspace 

and Revocation of Class E Airspace; 

Cape Girardeau, MO 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

D and Class E airspace and revokes 

Class E airspace at Cape Girardeau 

Regional Airport, Cape Girardeau, MO. 

The FAA is making this action as the 

result of an airspace review caused by 

the decommissioning of the Marion very 

high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional 

range (VOR) navigation aid as part of the 

VOR Minimum Operational Network 

(MON) Program. The name of the 

localizer is also updated to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations in the area. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 7, 

2021. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends the 

Class D airspace; amends the Class E 

surface airspace; amends the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface; and revokes the 

Class E airspace area designated as an 

extension to Class D and Class E surface

airspace at Cape Girardeau Regional 

Airport, Cape Girardeau, MO, to support 

IFR operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 22368, April 28, 2021) 

for Docket No. FAA–2021–0003 to 

amend Class D airspace, Class E surface 

airspace, and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, 

Cape Girardeau, MO, to accommodate 

area navigation (RNAV) global 

positioning system (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures 

(SIAPs) serving this airport. Also, the 

FAA is removing the Class E airspace 

area designated as an extension to Class 

D and Class E surface areas at Cape 

Girardeau Regional Airport, as it is no 

longer required. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, 

dated July 21, 2020, and effective 

September 15, 2020, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by: Amending the Class D airspace at 

Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, Cape 

Girardeau, MO, by adding an extension 

1 mile each side of the 021° bearing 

from the airport extending from the 4.1- 

mile radius to 4.4 miles north of the 

airport; and adding an extension 1 mile 

each side of the 106° bearing from the 

Cape Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10–LOC 

extending from the 4.1-mile radius of 

the airport to 4.4 miles east of the Cape 

Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10–LOC; 

Amending the Class E surface 

airspace at Cape Girardeau Regional 

Airport by removing the vertical limit 

on the airspace as it is not required; 

adding an extension 1 mile each side of 

the 021° bearing from the airport 

extending from the 4.1-mile radius to 

4.4 miles north of the airport; and 

adding an extension 1 mile each side of 

the 106° bearing from the Cape 

Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10–LOC 

extending from the 4.1-mile radius of 

the airport to 4.4 miles east of the Cape 

Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10–LOC; 

Removing the Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension to Class D 

and Class E surface area at Cape 

Girardeau Regional Airport as it is no 

longer required; 

And amending the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Cape Girardeau Regional 

Airport by removing the Cape Girardeau 

VOR/DME and associated extension 

from the airspace legal description; 

updating the bearing of the north 

extension to 021° (previously 023°); 

updating the bearing of the east 

extension to 106° (previously 108°) and 

changing the reference of the extension 

to the Cape Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10– 

LOC (previously the airport); updating 

the bearing of the south extension to 

201° (previously 203°); and updating the 

bearing of the west extension to 286° 

(previously 280°); and updating the 

name of the Cape Girardeau RGNL: 

RWY 10–LOC (previously Cape Girard 

Regional Localizer) to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This action is necessary due to an 

airspace review caused by the 

decommissioning of the Marion VOR, 

which provided navigation information 

for the instrument procedures this 

airport, as part of the VOR MON 

Program. 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It therefore: (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures an air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
